The best way to watch Kibu with a group is on a large screen. Whether you’re in a day program, residential setting, or classroom, getting Kibu on the TV makes classes more engaging and easier for everyone to follow along.
Best experience: Use a Google streaming device (Chromecast or Google TV) or connect a laptop or tablet directly via HDMI cable. Both options are simple to set up and work great with Kibu.

Tips for group settings

  • Position the screen where all participants can see it clearly before starting.
  • Test audio before the session, make sure the TV or monitor volume is turned up.
  • Use a phone or keyboard to control playback so you can move around the room freely while the class runs on the TV.
  • Stable Wi-Fi makes a big difference. If you’re experiencing buffering, try moving the streaming device or router closer together.
